Figure 32: Soil displacement caused by the front implement and total soil displacement<br />

caused by the rear implement<br />

For entire undercarriage systems the two distinct groups obvious in penetrometer resis-<br />

tance were obvious in the soil displacement data in Figure 33, too. Here the wheel type<br />

undercarriage systems showed a significantly larger soil displacement i.e. increase in soil<br />

density than the track type undercarriage systems. Statistically there could be more differ-<br />

ences proven. The two tracks were statistically the same and so is the 680-680 to the 900-<br />

700. The 23-11 is equal to the 680-700. All other combinations are significantly different<br />

from each other.<br />

The two groups are split up in Figure 34 for the wheel type soil displacement and in Figure<br />

35 for the track type soil displacement.<br />
